  The PNU Myanmar Alumni Association Central Executive Committee (CEC), led by President Ko Min Khant Naing and Vice President Ma Aye Chan Pwint Phyu, formally requested the PNU International Office to establish a scholarship selection process to support Myanmar students affected by the earthquake that struck in March 2025.

"Shwe Yin Aye" Fundraising Event/ "쉐이 인 에이" 기금 마련 행사 (2025.5.18)

On May 18th 2025, our association hosted a special activity by selling a Burmese Traditional dessert called “Shwe Yin Aye” to our fellow PNU Myanmar students. We also participated in the Together Day Festival held at the Gyeongnam Provincial Government Office in Changwon City to sell this very dessert.    Shwe Yin Aye is a coconut-based dessert which is enjoyed by Burmese people commonly during the Thingyan Water Festival in April.
